Yum Yum Island

Players act as pelicans trying to feed a group of hungry island animals before a giant claims food for himself. Each animal is a cardboard cutout with a raised mouth showing green and red numbers for vegetarian and meat requirements. On a turn a player rolls a die to set the round’s difficulty, dons a blindfold, scoops food tokens from a common supply, and attempts to deposit tokens into an animal’s mouth by feel. Tokens that fall out or don’t match the animal’s needs go to the giant. Certain die results permit teammates to give limited guidance or let the active player recover a token or receive other small assistance.
